Gold mining company AngloGold Ashanti on Friday reaffirmed annual guidance as it reported an improved second quarter performance compared with the first three months of the year, underpinned by a 12% increase in production. Gold production rose to 652 000 oz in the second quarter of 2023 compared with 584 000 oz in the previous three-month period. The stronger second quarter was supported by production and cost improvements across most assets primarily driven by both higher tonnes processed and recovered grades.
